Hi Egle! How do you feel before the competition? Is it hard to perform before the local audience at the event of such an importance? I have heard that you are the "face" of the competition. How are the preparations going?

Eglė Vaitkutė:I don't find it hard to perform before the audience in my country. I'm preparing to this competition as to any other championship. As for me - what's most important is that I had enough strength and endurance. I hope that I am well prepared.

I take seriously each of the rivals in my category, because I know they compete to win. The entire organization is handled by Vydas Mikelionis and I know that everything is going well. I expect a really great competition and a lot of fans who will  come to support us. We, as athletes and as organizers will try to show the strength of the Lithuanian armwrestling. There will also be a coverage of the event in the Lithuanian television, which treats the championship very seriously.

Thanks, I wish you a peaceful preparation and see you at the championships!

Best regards to your readers. Let me invite all the fans to the championships.
